iemm said the costs of the labora
tory animals are mainly covered by
student lab fees. Additional research
or experimentation funding is pro
vided by the University or by gov
ernment grants. The type of animals
used is dependent upon the particu
lar department or professor who uses
them, Klemm said.
Because laboratory animals are
also used in research projects, their
living conditions meet high
standards, he said. The animal rooms
in the basement of the new biology
building are supervised by Eartha
Seyfus. She is employed specifically
for the care and feeding of the ani
mals.
The veterinary school employs a
wide variety of animals in research
and student experimentation. Re
search animals range from geneti
cally line-bred beagles to swine and
baboons. In addition to radiation and
cancer studies, the animals are used

The Veterinary Physiology and
Pharmacology Dept, alone may have
thirty to forty dogs for labs during
one week, said Dr. David Hood
Hood, associate professor.
“These dogs are supplied by area
pounds if they are not claimed within
the legal period,” he said. They are
housed in indoor runs with free ac
cess to food and water. The areas are
cleaned two to three times daily as
needed, he said.
Large animals such as horses and
cattle are used by the animal science
and veterinary surgery labs. Often
these animals are donated to the de
partment and raised by the person
nel.
Animal experimentation proce
dures are designed for minimal pain
for the animal, Hood said.

Texts from two of the most noted
collections of Economics and Busi
ness literature are being collected by
the A&M library.
Through an agreement with Re
search Publishing Co. in Conn.,
Evans Library is receiving micro
films from the libraries of Econom
ics of Harvard and the University
of London.
The collection is the Goldsmith-
Kress Library of Economic Litera
ture containing books and other pub
lications dating back to the late
1400s. “Students in Economics and
Business will be interested in this,
and to a lesser extent, English
majors,” said Henry L. Alsmeyer,
associate director of the library.
The film of the collection comes to
the University about 250 reels at a
time and over 750 reels have arrived
since the purchasing agreement was
made in 1973. According to the
agreement, $23.25 is paid for each
reel and approximately 1,500 reels
are expected.
bought, said Mr. Hall, “because it
was a collectors item. ”
Prices of journals vary tremen
dously. “Chemical Abstracts,” which
costs $2,000 a year, is the highest
priced journal purchased. At the
other extreme, “Shameless Hussy,”
costs the library only $1 per year.
Most journals, though, average
about $30 to $50 per year.
In addition to the regular journal
subscriptions, the Library cooper
ates with the British Library Lend
ing Division (BLOD). BLOD has ac
cess to more than 30,000 different
journals. Stocking, in the Library, is
done at the rate of 400 to 1,000 new
journals per year. There is not a great
increase, however, because of the
many journals that go out of business
during the year.
Some of the journals ordered have
proven to be unusual. Mr Hall, talk
ing about one of his favorites, said,
“We’ve been ordering a journal for
about a year named “Zero,” and so
far, we’ve never received a copy.”

Dr. Alfred Chalk, of the econom
ics department, was one of the first
ones to become interested in the col
lection.
“It will give grad students access
to all the rare works of these two
greatest libraries,” said Chalk
Thursday.
When the question of whether to
buy the collection came up in Li
brary budgeting, Chalk asked people
in the department to confirm the im
portance of the collection.
The collection includes texts in
Danish, Dutch, Italian, Latin, Por
tuguese, Swedish, and the four
major languages in English, French,
German, and Spanish.
“Virtually all of them are in En
glish or French, ” said Chalk. He said
that many of those interested in the
collection, both professors and
graduate students, are proficient in
French.
